Theta Miles CD player


I’ve had my Miles for about 20 years and still love the sound.  I use it with its analog outputs and let the internal dac, do the conversion.  Question- those of you who are familiar with this product-is there a new player that willl out perform this one?  (I use the balanced outputs). If so, tell me your experiences.

Your Theata Miles is classic old school R2R Multibit (PCM63 dacs) this is why you still like it for Redbook.

Trouble you've got is the laser (Pinoneer  PEA1343), it's almost unobtainium, and the ones around demand huge prices.
If you love the sound as you say and you want to keep it, get one for a spare before they disappear and you end up with a door stop.
